New PC - do these specs sound OK?

Intel HD 4000 graphics will only support 1920x1200 via HDMI or DVI ports.

So make sure you get a Motherboard with DisplayPort to get 2560x1600 (assuming your monitor also has a DisplayPort).

If not (your monitor only supports dual link DVI connections) and/or the MB you want doesn't have a DisplayPort, then you'll need to buy a dedicated video card to get resolutions that high.

Here's a thread discussing that issue (the need for a DisplayPort to get more than 1920x1200 with the latest Intel integrated graphics).
